March’s Book of the Month

Why this book? Because I thought of Evolutionary Astrology in so many of the pages. "To transfigure the Ego - To Liberate the Soul" is one heading. What clinched the decision was the respect for the Circle, which is the shape of our birth charts in Western astrology and reflects natural cycles. But, truly, there is so much more to luxuriate in and expand consciousness in this book.

In reading other kinds of Soul books, our understanding of symbolism and meaning grows and we naturally have a better chance of becoming good astrologers, if that is our desire.

"Anam Cara" means Soul Friend. To my Soul Friends, may the astrological New Year and beginning of Spring, be one of sweet transformation. Peace.

Amazing Astrological Tool

When I discovered this little gem, was so grateful…. saves much time in calculating and the various options are useful in many ways… I would be so happy if it could be developed into a downloadable app…. to be able to access off line would be so handy….

Thank you for this testimonial. Creating the tool was my pleasure. Perhaps a collaboration with an app builder is possible and some fund raising to cover the cost? Peace, Shawn
